Carnival Imagination

Pros: Relaxation
Cons: Lots of walking onboard

This was our first cruise (with 3 other couples) and overall a little disappointing. I expected to be in the lap of luxury and was greatly disappointed. We arrived to check in at 12:15 and it was a breeze. The staff members were many and friendly. Our...

Pros: Romantic, Fun, Economical get away!
Cons: Everything is for sale!

This was our first cruise and it was for our 10 year anniversary. What a blast! My wife and I have never cruised before but have heard many good things as well as many bad things. I will try and elaborate on the few things we had to comment on...both...

Pros: Friendly crew, short lines, FUN FUN FUN
Cons: Embarkation lines, alcohol regulations, getting off the ship

Hello all, I just returned from the Carnival Imagination 11/12/05 – 11/17/05. I was part of the ProDJ.com East Coast DJ Cruise. There were 100 professional Disc Jockeys from around the country gathered on the Imagination. Airport & Embarkation ...

Pros: food
Cons: inaccessible for handicap people

The cruise that I was on, I went as an aide to a paraplegic woman. We went to Cozumel, Jamaica and Grand Cayman. The time of year was the end of March.
The ship was great for me, I was in college at the time and there were a lot of...

Pros: great activities, good food, excellent service
Cons: ship does not take cash, must pay for virtually all drinks, tipping, a little too formal for a vacation

I took a 4 day cruise on the Imagination in the beginning of August. Overall I guess the experience was ok. The Imagination stopped in two ports, Key West and Cozumel. I think Carnival is a good company and I think some of my dissatisfaction with the...

Pros: shipboard activities, food
Cons: Customer service (VERY poor)

In the last three years, I have been on two Carnival cruises- one on the Inspiration, and more recently on the Imagination. I will definitely not travel on Carnival again for many reasons.
First, I would like to point out that the ships were...

Pros: Relaxation, service, amenities, activities, food
Cons: debarkation process, tour packages, alcohol costs

If you are looking for total relaxation without pressure of a definitive schedule, a cruise is the way to go. I chose the Carnival line basically because I got the best deal on a 7 day rate. I cannot compare to other cruise lines, but if they are any...

Pros: Meet new people, great food whenever you want it, great destinations, memories to last a lifetime
Cons: people are suprised at the end by the tipping, the food can be too rich after a while and you'll want to eat hotdogs for the whole week after.

Two years ago I went on a Carnival Cruise to Cozumel Mexico, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica. It was the best vacation I had ever taken in my life!

I had taken a cruise on the Big Red Boat when I was younger and I thought that it was so fun. Now I...

Pros: Outstanding value, excellent dining room food, fun
Cons: Glitzy, activities poorly organized, boring itinerary

We are relatively experienced cruisers (see my epinions on Princess and RCCL's Voyager). We chose the M/S Imagination for this five-day trip (12/11-15, 2000), because we wanted to reward our recent graduate students with a special, yet economical...

Pros: Variety of ports, variety of ages- lots to do
Cons: Fairly standard food- not the best, not the worst.

My fiance and I went on this cruise in June of 1998 and loved it. At the time, I was 22 and he was 27- but neither of us are "partying"types. This ship had a variety of ages, from children to seniors with no heavy stereotypical population. We...

Pros: Nice weather
Cons: a little tacky

Hi All...

Ive been on quite a few cruises and have visited most Carribbean islands
and if I had a choice I would always choose an Eastern caribbean cruise
over the Western...

Cozumel is a slum for the most part....there...

Pros: Great food, friendly people, great ports
Cons: Time went by too fast

Over a year ago, my parents and I went on a cruise for the summer. I had
been on one cruise before, but it was one of the Disney cruises, and I was younger so I don't remember it that well. The cruise we decided to go on was the Imagination. Neither...

Pros: Budget Cruising
Cons: Food, drinks, customer service, tacky uncomfortable ships, tourist trap destinations

I cruised Carnival Cruise lines for the second time in October. I decided to give the cruise line another opportunity to win my favor after the first and biggest vacation disappointment I have ever experienced. Carnival Cruise Lines draws first time...

Pros: Great ports of call And Wonderful staff
Cons: Food fair pools too small

We sailed on this ship in August and was shocked. We have sailed many times before but had stayed away from Carnival. We felt that they were to much Party Boat on the water. Now were are not old at all in our 30s, But do like to have a quiet dinner and a...

Pros: great 24 hour pizzeria, great food, new friends, Great Cruise Director, too many others to mention
Cons: Cabin Steward not speaking English, no Internet Cafe when I was on the ship, expensive alcohol (we had lots of tea)

I find it strange when I read the "bad" Imagination reviews. Maybe we were just lucky BUT, we had a great time! First and foremost, our Cruise Director, Haste, was awesome. This man made our cruise so much fun. He really enjoyed his job and...
